Teesside-2
I hope the Treasury uses a brownfield site. I would hate to see my hard-earned taxes going into a new build, especially with the glut of offices likely in the next few months and years.

Palma is a strange one for year round it normally ends Oct and restarts March from everywhere.
maybe Spain is hoping due to lockdowns that people will go in the colder winter months

I agree! Something really odd here.....aviation is on its knees but the mayor of Teesside (home of an airport that has been neglected for years and ignored by major airlines) is managing to launch new routes etc. Armchair airline MD/ frustrated plane spotter with public money to spend...

I think there must be a mix up here. No way in hell there is a winter market from Teesside to Palma. Alicante would be more like it. Most hotels in Majorca close in the winter and what few flights run from the uk support is expats and cycling tourists.
Bizarre route choice if true.

I’m surprised too. Now quoted in the Northern Echo too claiming it to be a popular winter destination.
Anyone who goes to the Balearics late October will know everything is shutting down...

Palma flights
If these flights do operate in Winter,I'd be up for a break to Palma.Went a few years back over Christmas,and Palma being the capital was bustling,plenty of bars and restaurants open.Weather was decent too.Of course anyone expecting a boozy Magalluf break will be disapointed.
I think there would be many others too that would enjoy a winter city break to Palma,it's a lovely city.Given there are no flights from LBA in Winter,am sure plenty of other Yorkshire folk would support these flights from Teesside.Not flown from there in years,but it looks like it's going to be a nice little airport once all the terminal refurb is completed.

The choice of Palma over Alicante might seem strange but let’s not discount the possibility of Ryanair getting some sort of subsidy from the Mallorcan government/Tourist Board for bringing in passengers on a new winter route. That way Ryanair would potentially get some sort of support at both ends of the route.

Wizz also have PMI on sale twice a week for the winter from DSA. Wonder if this has anything to do with Ryanair’s decision to keep the route running through the winter... Good luck to both!
